The present invention is a spring-biased folding firearm that stows
compactly and safely. The firearm has three main components: a stock, a
receiver and a grip/magazine combination. In folding, the stock folds
over the receiver, sandwiching the grip/magazine between the components.
When folded, the magazine over-inserts into the grip housing, allowing
the stock to clear and providing additional safety when stowed by
isolating the ammunition feed. A buttplate latches over the open joint to
contain the unit and further secure it. When stowed, the bolt is
disengaged from the ammunition feed supply, preventing accidental firing,
so a loaded round can be safely carried in the chamber--allowing for
immediate use of the firearm upon opening. The weapon is deployed through
single-handed actuation and is spring-assisted into firing position.
Currently the firearm uses readily available aftermarket parts for easier
replacement if necessary and does contain hardware for mounting
accessories.
